As previously mentioned, it does not only have a potential but it actually is a japanese avant-garde literature in drawings; realistically presented scenes and lives of the modern people who have fallen in a deep abyss of depression and realization of the world in motion that surrounds them, especially the way the teenagers' minds work and see that world through their perception, prematurely stained with the dirt of the collective mistakes that humanity breeds even today.

This story isn't for young readers that are perplexed by sexual activity. The story,however, is enthralling and gives out a well timed glimpse into each of their personalities.

The art is also very beautiful and can keep your attention.

When we are young, we miss the mark, a lot, and umibe show that well.
